Faculty Recruitment for Approved Position

Create a BrassRing requisition (via PeopleSoft) for OEI approval. Once approved by OEI, the search will be approved and requisition administrator will be notified.

Interview candidates. Denote status in BrassRing for all candidates in final candidate pool (at least three). Notify OEI of final candidate pool and include detailed explanations as to why finalist was selected and others were not.

OEI must approve finalist before proceeding with offer to candidate.

Once offer is accepted, assemble and submit the faculty preliminary packet for Dean's Office approval.

﻿Preliminary Packet

A preliminary packet is required for new regular and temporary faculty of any rank, reappointments of temporary faculty, transition of temporary faculty to regular faculty (with or without promotion), new and extensions of Visiting Faculty, and employees who are changing their class status (e.g., from postdoc or faculty equivalent to faculty).

The Department will submit a Preliminary Recruitment Packet to the Dean’s office via BrassRing. New appointments at the senior rank (Associate Professor and Professor) and related Distinguished appointments require additional paperwork, which will be routed separately.
